I worked on the same platform in school (NachOS). It was originally in C++, then moved or branched to Java, so it is possible that the code is that ancient (although I imagine the OP was just exaggurating for rhetorical effect).
I learned more about reading, understanding, debugging, and extending real-life code in that class than any other; learning operating system fundamentals was just an added bonus. Unfortunately I took a compilers course using Haskell the next term, forever impairing my ability to enjoy working in Java.
